2017 Mazda3 Review

Our team at Ocean Mazda wrote this 2017 Mazda3 review for our customers in Doral, Miami, Hialeah, Kendall, and the surrounding communities.

We believe that it’s a great car. So great, in fact, that we want to tell the people of Florida all about it!

If you have any questions about this vehicle’s stylish exterior, powerful engine, impressive performance, life-saving safety technology, or 5-door option, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. One of our representatives would be happy to speak with you.

Exterior: KODO Design

By this point, you’ve probably heard lots of talk about Mazda’s unique KODO design. Dubbed “Soul of Motion,” it’s intended to make the sedan look like a predatory animal, stalking its next meal, poised to pounce.

This is how the 2017 Mazda3 gives off an impression of stark energy and sheer power through its sophisticated exterior design.

Engine: 2.0L SKYACTIV®-G 4-Cylinder

Best of all, its standard 2.0L SKYACTIV®-G 4-cylinder engine (with variable intake valve timing) lets you harness all that power.

It delivers a striking 155 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, as well as an impressive 150 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. This finely engineered piece of machinery won’t even redline until it hits 6,800 RPM.

Yet it doesn’t achieve such power at the expense of efficiency. With front-wheel drive (FWD) and an automatic transmission, you’ll get up to 28 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the highway, and 31 MPG combined.* And, with FWD and a manual transmission, you’ll get up to 28 MPG in the city, 37 MPG on the highway, and 32 MPG combined.*

Performance: SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control

This is some next-generation technology. Mazda’s SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring Control will smooth out your ride, making it less taxing on both you and your passengers.

It does so with minute adjustments to power delivery and weight distribution; you won’t even notice that it’s happening, but you’ll notice the results.

Safety: i-ACTIVSENSE® Innovations

Here’s an overview of some of the available features included in the Mazda3’s suite of protective safety systems, i-ACTIVSENSE®:

High Beam Control

Adaptive Front-Lighting System

Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Lane Departure Warning System
